Leverkusen does not have deep player resource like Bayern Munich and they have many young players in their squad who don't have enough experience to use their energy wisely through a match and a long season. Xabi Alonso is responsible for it too because as a head coach of Leverkusen, he must request his players to slow down in playing intensity when necessary.

Now Leverkusen have only 2 points more than Bayern Munich and we knew what happened with Dortmund in the last season. With Stuttgart and Dormund at third and fourth positions with only 37 and 36 points while Leverkusen and Bayern Munich with 49 and 47 points, Bundesliga seems to be a race between two top clubs only. Because the competitor is Bayern Munich, Leverkusen must be very careful if they don't want to be another version of Dortmund in 2022 - 2023 season.

The draw meant that Leverkusen had to be willing to lose full points in this match and of course this was an opportunity for Bayern Munich to catch up more easily, but this draw was not so bad because Leverkusen did not lose and they only got 1 point.
Now the difference between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich is only 3 points, so in the future Leverkusen must be able to achieve more wins in each match to be able to maintain point difference over Bayern Munich.
Just one mistake will knock Leverkusen out of the top of the standings and Xabi must emphasize to all his players to return to consistency in playing quality, this is quite dangerous condition for them.
They have the opportunity and opportunity to win the Bundesliga this season and if it all goes to waste it would be shame, after all, Leverkusen has really opened the door for them to become champions.
Our hope is that Leverkusen fans can continue to be stable and more consistent in the future so that we can achieve every victory more easily.

The decline in Bayer Leverkusen's goal productivity began to appear when they managed to achieve a dramatic victory at Augsburg headquarters, they were only able to score one goal in that match and Leverkusen achieved success when the match was almost over. After that, Leverkusen played another Big Match, they were forced to use all their energy to face RB Leipzig's very disciplined game, a dramatic comeback was achieved in that match.

Now Leverkusen is starting to run out of gas, even though they are playing at their own base, they are unable to secure full points. Borussia Moenchengladbach disciplined play made Leverkusen's attack line dull, not a single goal was scored in this match which made Leverkusen lose two important points. This draw was very detrimental to Leverkusen, now they are only two points ahead of their closest competitor who is in second place.

The next match must be used to keep its position safe, Darmstadt is not an opponent that is difficult to beat, Leverkusen must exploit its opponent's weaknesses to get full points.

Bundesliga Dortmund scored 3 points in yesterday's match. vfl secured a big 3-1 win against bochum yesterday. Dortmund gained 3 points in the last match, but Dortmund's points gap with the number one and two teams in the points table is still very high. With the way Dortmund have been performing, it is difficult to say whether Dortmund can close this point gap. Bayern and Leverkusen are two consistent teams in the Bundesliga and they are performing consistently, so even if Dortmund wins all their next matches, they will not be able to close the points gap with these two teams. That is why the point gap cannot be reduced because even if Dortmund wins the next matches, Bayern Munich and Leverkusen will do much better in their next matches, but Dortmund's point gap with these two teams will remain. However, Dortmund can raise their position a little higher in the table if they want.

Union Berlin quickly forgot last week's defeat to Bayern Munich and managed to win against Darmstadt.Union Berlin, which is far from last year's performance, is now in the relegation zone and if they cannot catch an unbeaten streak, it could be a problem for them in the future.I don't think they will be relegated because they are still superior to other teams in the relegation zone in terms of squad quality.
Dortmund hosted Bochum at home.Dortmund got 3 points with 3 goals against Bochum and increased their points to 36.It was important that all 3 goals that brought the win came from Füllkrug.Offensively they have no problems, but defensively it would be better for them to improve themselves a little better.The goal they conceded today came thanks to an own goal.

The performance from dortmund in this game was not that good, dortmund was only creating 1 open play goal and two from penalties. We have seen that how penalty was really helpful to the club but at least we have been securing three points from bochum even though dortmund was struggling to beat it.
Dortmund players had many chances, but they were not performing so well. Unacceptable result to conceded 1 goal against dortmund. The club is now performing even better than before, but dortmund needs to make a lot of improvements on its defenders. The current composition is not good enough.

It is evident from the number of times Dortmund missed opportunities and how they can be converted into goals. We should appreciate Dortmund for their hard work in battling against Bochum. It must be an easy match for dortmund but the club was feeling so hard to beat it.
No doubt that if bochum can still exist in the bundesliga till this time. The match against dortmund had proven that bochim was strong enough to stay in the bundesliga.

Bochum is still out from the relegation zone but it doesn't mean this club was save. Dortmund can co back again to the bottom if it keeps perform inconsistently like this. congratulation for dortmund.

Bayern Munich will only make attempts to levelled points with Bayer Leverkusen this season but they won't be able to levelled points because they've messed up their chances meeting up. Bayer Leverkusen remained unbeaten which is clearer to everyone now that they're the imminent Bundesliga Champions, atleast they've been topping the current table from day one till this present moment. Xabi Alonso have made his choice and priorities to win the Bundesliga, so there's no going back after accumulating more points and fighting for major trophies this season, this is definitely not the time to give up, but focused on the good fight at hand.

It's great to hear that Dortmund maintained their composure after a drawn first half and secured a convincing 3-1 victory against Bochum. Fullkrug's hat trick undoubtedly played a pivotal role, showcasing Dortmund's dominance. The added three points not only secure a crucial win but also propel Dortmund back into the top 4, especially with Leipzig's recent setback. This victory is indeed special for Dortmund, offering them a valuable position in the standings as they continue their campaign.


Looking forward, if Dortmund can maintain this momentum in their next five matches, it could indeed bolster their confidence for a title challenge. While Bayern Leverkusen remains a formidable contender, Dortmund's recent form suggests they are capable of competing at the highest level. The upcoming matches will be crucial in determining their trajectory in the title race, as they badly need a win right now so an easy win for them is against Bochum who is now under the 14 position,

Even though they were held to a 0-0 draw by Monchengladbach, Leverkusen's performance was not bad, based on the match statistics they were successful in getting 75% ball possession and 9 shots on goal. Their rivalry with Bayern is also expected to be long but the results that Leverkusen got are much better than those of Bayern, Leverkusen is still unbeaten and that is a brilliant record, I am optimistic that Leverkusen will become Bundesliga champions this season.

Dortmund won 3-1 over Bochum, from the start this was not a tough match for Dortmund, Fullkrug managed to score a hat trick, his performance was amazing.

Leverkusen did not make good use of the match. Leverkusen should have scored one goal, which would have been enough to add winning points at the top of the standings. In a draw like this, Leverkusen did not get any additional points, even though the point difference between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich is only 2 points. Leverkusen must continue to try hard in the next match and not let Bayern Munich take his position.

Dortmund appearing strong earlier in the season but facing challenges now could be caused by mental fatigue. I think they need to refresh the team by new signings, because they can't keep the same formula every season. Dortmund prioritizing financial gains through player trading over team success is a perspective that some fans share. It's not uncommon for clubs to face a dilemma between financial stability and on-field success. But I think it's more complicated than that. Dortmund produce great talents, but they cant give them great wage to prevent their talents to accept bigger offers.

Investing in youth development and building a team around promising players could provide stability. This approach has worked for many clubs that fosters a sense of continuity and identity. It remains to be seen how Dortmund will navigate these challenges and whether they will shift their strategy to prioritize team-building and long-term success over short-term financial gains. Fans often hope for a balance that allows the club to thrive both economically and on the pitch.

The absence of several players and Victor Boniface was one of the obstacles for Xabi Alonso's team when playing several matches, Leverkusen had a little difficulty in scoring goals even though they were still playing well. when Leverkusen played Augsburg, they were only able to score 1 goal in the final minutes of the match. after that, Leverkusen against Leipzig, of the 3 goals they scored, two goals were scored by defenders. luckily, Levekusen finally won the match against Lepzig by scoring a goal in the 90+1 minute. Against Gladbach, Leverkusen actually had many opportunities. Unfortunately, none of the many opportunities they had were converted into goals. In the end, the match ended in a draw. On the other hand, Bayern Munich won the match and currently the two teams are only separated by two points.

Next week, it seems Leverkusen will have no problems when playing against Darmstadt. the team which incidentally is in last place in this competition. On the other hand, Bayern will play their match against Gladbach. If these two teams win their match, then the following week will be a crucial match for both teams to determine the distance or overtake the position. well, we don't need to talk about last season between Bayern and Dortmund. because, we will soon see the Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich match on February 11. The results of this match will determine the temporary position to occupy the top of the Bundesliga. Let's just wait, because this match will be a crucial match that will present an exciting battle.

Dortmund are looking worse because they want to be worse, this is what I can say at this point because there have been times when this same team have had good players who could have helped them get that which they really want to get and possibly win the German bundesliga buy then they preferred to make more money with trading their players.

This season earlier dortmund did appeared really strong a team buy it's really baffling how they are now worse than they have been both last season and in recent times aswell. Dortmund used to have good players and a very formidable team thst can help them achieve all that they want to achieve at any time buy then I think since they are good with it, ithey can still continue in that light if they want to, they can still continue to groom some new talents and this time they should be ready to keep them and make sure ro achieve a lot with them before letting them go.

Yes, this is a situation that Bayern Munich fans are waiting for, where with a decrease in productivity from Leverkusen, at least Bayern Munich's chances of catching up and maintaining title dominance are getting bigger. As we know that Leverkusen are always able to perform outstandingly in every match they have passed by dominating many wins and this time it is different where they must be willing to share points with Gladbach, which is basically a medium-sized team, although they did not lose and were still able to bring home 1 point but still this situation could accelerate Bayern Munich in catching up, which in the end now Bayern Munich are only 2 points behind. And well that's right, this situation also reminds me of last season's events as you said that Dortmund were ultimately far from lucky because they failed to secure the championship match at the end of the season which ultimately made Bayern Munich successfully defend the title again. I'm sure that many are reminded of this incident when we see the decline of Leverkusen who are usually always able to secure full points, but on the other hand I can't be too optimistic about this possibility and we'll see in the next match whether Leverkusen will be able to win the match against Damstadt or slip up again.

Seeing Leverkusen fail to secure a win against Gladbach is actually starting to indicate a decline in their level of goal productivity and it is quite worrying if next week they still fail to win. Bayern Munich seems to have received advice to win the Bundesliga again if the best scenario is through less than optimal results achieved by Leverkusen. We definitely remember last season where Bayern Munich got lucky when Dortmund was almost certain to win the title and what I'm afraid of is if this season happens again and Leverkusen becomes a stepping stone for Bayern Munich to lift the title.

They should be one of the best teams at home because especially their fans are numerous and more hyped than most of the other fans, but Borussia Dortmund doesn't have a quality team. They are far worse than in some of the last seasons. No superstars in their team at all. I know it is impossible to replace a player like Haaland and there was nothing they could do about his decision to leave the club since he had a release clause, but usually Borussia Dortmund had very strong strikers. Now that's not the case anymore. Fullkrug scored 3 goals, which were 2 penalties and 1 ordinary goal. But they are a Champions League team and in my opinion Fullkrug is not Champions League level.

Over the years, every season, we've seen certain teams leading the top chart of the Bundesliga and there's been some levels of consistency especially for Munich who's most of the time finished at the first position. Before now, Leverkusen and Stuttgart weren't even seen near the top four, it was always a Munich, Dortmund show but there's been much of a difference this season.

 Now there's a kinda rub shoulders between these teams, Leverkusen and Stuttgart who's been on the sidelines for seasons have now come up to be competitive for the trophy. Since the season began, they've been able to be threats to the trophy race, Munich now have to be extra cautious in their games too. They've lost twice in a row and it's kept the ints between them and Leverkusen.

 Also for Stuttgart who's been doing their best to keep their spot in the top 4 space. It's very much impression that this season took a different turn in the Bundesliga. Leipzig and Dortmund still have to strive to regain back their usual space on the table because currently, they're seemingly below the top 3, although with not much points difference which they still have a chance to meet up with.

Niclas Fullkrug managed to make a hat-trick in this match and yes, the final score was 3-1 and with this victory also made Dortmund return to the top four taking over the position previously held by Leipzig . Because yes,Leipzig also experienced bad results because at this moment Leipzig had three consecutive defeats and that was bad of course. What's more, Leipzig's last defeat in this week's away match occurred with a very striking score losing with a score of 5-2 against Stuttgart . Thus, then of course Dortmund will be able to waltz perfectly to return to the top four and thus, it will likely be difficult for Leipzig to return to the top four.

At least they finally got things right in the second half of the game as they have seen themselves flourishing excellently at home this season, do they need more explanation to see that they be one of the very best at home?
Right after the Penalty from the three goalscorer today,   Sabitzer had a fine chance of scoring with his freekick but that was save beautifully by that goalkeeper.

Some levels of no communication saw the opposite side scoring a goal to equalize that first goal but that didn't halt them performance from running them enough damage to show who's Boss!!! Anyways I love the second goal scored he tracked that ball well like he was a hunter.

This is a must win match for Dortmund because their fans will be angry if they lose to Bochum because their last two matches were draw.
These three points are very important for them because it will keep boosting their performance; this is their third consecutive win in a row in the Bundesliga matches after going five consecutive matches in all competition without a win, this win has helped them moved to the fourth position in the Bundesliga table.

If Dortmund can win all their next five Bundesliga matches, they will have more confidence to challenge for the title even though we know that Bayern Leverkusen are the top challenger.
